The city’s cuisine is most famous for Guilin rice noodles, which have been the local breakfast staple since the Qin dynasty and are renowned for their delicate taste. Guilin snacks and the use of spices, especially chili, are also well known. The famous Guilin chili sauce, used widely in cooking by locals, is made of fresh chili, garlic and fermented soy beans. The Guilin delicacies generally taste slightly spicy and heavy, since they are influenced by the nearby Guangdong and Hunan Provinces. Most places in Guilin close at 10pm and those in Yangshuo run until 1am.
